In the above, we're telling NGINX to pass requests for ./static/..... to the /static location block, which defines a root directory -- this would be the full path to where the static files are location.

So if your static files were located in, for example, /home/username/htdocs/static, that's the path you would use.

You'll need to reload or restart NGINX after changes are made to configuration.

Looks like they all came through at once :-). There are preventative measures on the community in an attempt to deter spam, though sometimes various things seem to trigger it, so if you don't see your post immediately, allow it a few minutes. It could be due to a filter or due to the cache not being up to date.

As for the configuration, even with the SSL configuration, you'd simply add:

location /static {
root /path/to/static/files;
}

to your second sever block, below the first location block. You'd simply modify the path to match where your static files are located.
